905 - The Who

Mother was an incubator

Father was the contents

of a test tube in the ice box

In the factory of birth

My name is 905,

And I’ve just become alive

I’m the newest populator

Of the planet we call Earth

In suspended animation

My childhood passed me by If I speak without emotion

Then you know the reason why

Knowledge of the universe

Was fed into my mind

As my adolescent body

Left its puberty behind

And everything I know is what I need to know

And everything I do’s been done before

Every sentence in my head

Someone else has said

At each end of my life is an open door

Automatically defrosted

When manhood came on time

I became a man

I left the ice school behind

Now I’m to begin

The life that I’m assigned

A life that’s been used before

A thousand times

I have a feeling deep inside

That somethin’is missing

It’s a feeling in my soul

And I can’t help wishing

That one day I’ll discover

That we’re living a lie

And I’ll tell the whole world

The reason why

Well, until then, everything I know is what I need to know

And everything I do’s been done before

Every sentence in my head

Someone else has said

At each end of my life is an open door
